Krystal’s face turned deathly pale.

Now she realized that everything was just Jennie’s trick.

Jennie didn’t do anything. She just said a few words, and it already pushed Krystal into such an unfavorable situation.

Krystal shook her head anxiously. “No, Dad, Kai. Please believe me. How can I sacrifice my future just to frame Jennie? It’s just that I really thought she drugged me…”

“But the truth is, she didn’t!” Ji-yong interrupted angrily.

Chae-rin hurriedly spoke for her daughter, “Hubby, although Jennie didn’t drug her, Jennie did have a relapse at that time. Besides, Jennie touched Krystal’s glass. It’s only normal for Krystal to suspect her.”

Jennie said in a calm voice, “Krystal looked uncomfortable at that time, so I poured her a glass of water. I just tried to help her, as a sister. But anyway, forget it. I shouldn’t have meddled in other people’s business. I just humiliated myself.”

Ji-yong had always preferred a gentle and obedient daughter. So upon hearing Jennie’s words, he said, “Krystal, you’re in the wrong this time. Apologize to Jennie.”

“Hubby, Krystal just had a relapse. She’s not in good health yet. Don’t make her condition worse,” Chae-rin pleaded while wiping her tears.

When Jennie saw that Ji-yong was being fair, the coldness in her eyes faded away.

However, the next second, Ji-yong’s words made her realize that nothing could be changed.

The Kim family would never be her family.

Ji-yong would always be Krystal’s father only, not hers.

Ji-yong said, “Then Jennie, I apologize to you on behalf of Krystal. Let’s just forget what happened tonight. We don’t want to release the investigation result to the public. We will tell them that everything was only a misunderstanding. What do you think?”

Such a suggestion was not so much to defend Krystal but added salt to Jennie’s wound.

Before the investigation result came out, he allowed Krystal to attack her on the Internet. At that time, why didn’t he stop Krystal from making this matter public?

But now that he found out that Krystal might be ruined, he made such a request from her.

Jennie looked at Ji-yong indifferently. “What do you think people will think of me if we don’t announce this to the public? Right now, everyone believes that I really drugged Krystal, and I stole her part in Orisa Fashion Show.
How can I prove that I’m innocent?”

“I’ve already told you that I can raise you after you go home,” Ji-yong replied.

“You can raise me? I’m a normal person who needs to work and realize my self-worth. I’m not a pet of the Kim family nor a puppet that can be controlled by others. I don’t need anyone to raise me.”

Seeing that Jennie refused to listen to him, Ji-yong turned to the policeman and said, “We can discuss this matter on our own. Besides, it’s just a misunderstanding among our family members. Why not just let us deal with this investigation report by ourselves?”

Actually, his suggestion was favorable to the police.

After all, it was difficult for outsiders like them to get involved in family matters. As long as there was no major incident, they usually allowed family members to deal with their own family matters.

But today, they couldn’t.

So the policeman said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Su. We will announce the investigation result according to the procedure.”
